3-Ingredient Mounds Bars
Ingredients:
- Melted milk chocolate or dark chocolate
- 3 cups coconut flakes
- 1 cup condensed milk
- Almonds (optional, for Almond Joys)
Directions:
- Prepare Coconut Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut flakes with the condensed milk. Mix until thoroughly combined and a sticky dough-like consistency forms.
- Shape and Chill:
- Mold the coconut mixture into oblong shapes or bars resembling Mounds bars.
- Place the shaped bars on a baking sheet or tray lined with parchment paper.
- Transfer the tray to the freezer and let the bars chill for about 20 minutes to firm up.
- Coat with Chocolate:
- Melt the milk or dark chocolate using a microwave or a double boiler until smooth and creamy.
- Remove the chilled coconut bars from the freezer. Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are completely coated.
- Add Almonds (Optional):
- If desired, immediately after dipping the bars in chocolate, place an almond on top to create Almond Joy-style bars.
- Chill and Serve:
- Place the chocolate-coated bars back onto the parchment-lined tray.
- Return the tray to the freezer or refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set and harden.
- Enjoy:
- Once the chocolate coating is firm, the homemade Mounds Bars are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
These homemade Mounds Bars are a delightful treat, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings or for gifting to friends and family!
